	Existence and Perspectivity. Some Reflections on Perspectivism in Nietzsche and Patočka	Mon, 04.11.2024, 16:00	Seminars and Colloquia	Jakub Čapek Ludger Hagedorn		Existence and Perspectivity. Some Reflections on Perspectivism in Nietzsche and Patočka Fellows' Colloquium with Jakub Čapek Mon, 04.11.2024, 16:00 Speakers: Jakub Čapek Ludger Hagedorn Series: Seminars and Colloquia The notion of perspectivity refers to the fact that the cognition and self-understanding of human beings are bound to their point of view, be it literally their position in space or their linguistic-cultural identity. Examples of perspectivity thus range from perception (I see the same room from a different angle than anyone else) to intersubjective and intercultural perspectivity (where e.g., the discovery of America is instead seen as the encounter or collision of cultures), and even extend to perspectivism in the shaping of one’s life.
